By HD.

The Portland Trail Blazers have acquired forward Gerald Wallace from the Charlotte Bobcats in exchange for center Joel Przybilla, forward Dante Cunningham, forward/center Sean Marks, a 2011 conditional first round pick acquired from New Orleans and a conditional 2013 first round pick, it was announced today by General Manager Rich Cho.

“I want to welcome Gerald to the Trail Blazers,” said Trail Blazers Owner Paul Allen. “He is just the sort of talent we were looking for. I’m sure our fans will embrace him and hopefully he can help us make some noise in the playoffs.

“I also want to thank Joel, Dante and Sean. Joel has been a warrior for this franchise over the past six and 1/2 seasons and Dante has played an important role in the success this team has had this season.”

Wallace, 28, posted averages of 15.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.23 steals, 1.00 blocked shots and 39.0 minutes in 48 games (all starts) with the Bobcats this season. He scored 20 points or more 17 times and recorded 14 double-doubles.

Wallace (6-7, 220) was named to the 2010 Eastern Conference All-Star Team and the 2009-10 All-Defensive First Team. In nine-plus seasons with Charlotte and Sacramento, Wallace holds career averages of 13.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.49 steals, 0.96 blocks and 30.5 minutes in 592 games (453 starts).

NBA TRADE RUMORS: Joel Przybilla for Gearld Wallace?

By HD.

Another Trade Rumor is going around the NBA. This time including Joel Przybilla, the Portland Trail Blazers Center. Joel would be traded for PF Gerald Wallace of the Charlotte Bobcats.

Gerald Wallace, has had a pretty smooth and quiet career, not doing much, but Joel Przybilla is not the old Joel.

Let me tell you a story. Joel Przybilla used to be young and fresh, until one game last year vs. Dallas when he got hurt, since he came back Joel hasent been his best.

I think the Blazers will have a Win-Win in this trade. If you keep Przybilla, you have a good talented Center who has some problems, and a good player. Really doesnt argue or complain. Now with Gerald Wallace you have a great smooth player, alot like LaMarcus Aldridge, can go to the Basket and shoot, but, he's one of those guys that argues and complains.

The Blazers will at least get something pretty good from this trade. Charlotte is even throwing in a first-round draft pick, so LOSE BOBCATS LOSE!

Trail Blazers Center Marcus Camby to Undergo surgery.

By Hunter Hendrickson

Another Injury, and this time, another starter. Marcus Camby, will undergo arthroscopic surgery later this week to repair a partial medial meniscus tear in his left knee.it was announced today by General Manager Rich Cho.

The Portland Trail Blazers already have 2 starters injured, Greg Oden and All-star Brandon Roy.

“The MRI taken earlier today did not show anything significant,” said Cho. “However, a more thorough review tonight from our team physician did reveal a partial tear.”

The exact date for Camby’s arthroscopy has yet to be determined. A timeline for his return will be set following surgery.

In 39 games (all starts) this season, Camby has averaged 5.9 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.87 blocks in 28.7 minutes. He ranks fifth in the NBA in rebounds and 10th in blocked shots per game.

And God Forbid LaMarcus Aldridge gets hurt. Without him, the Blazers will finish with No Playoffs and No winning Record. The question now is, Can the Blazers make the Playoffs with all these injuries?

Oh and Camby is the only player in the Western Conference averaging at least 11.0 rebounds and 1.50 blocks. He has grabbed at least 10 boards in 26 games and led the team in rebounding a team-high 28 times this season.

So the starting Lineup Looks like this now

PG: Andre Miller.

SG: Wesley Matthews.

SF: Nicolas Batum

PF: LaMarcus Aldridge

C: Joel Przbilla or maybe Dante Cunningham.

Well, Depends. Can we continue to win games and make the playoffs?
